Sounds like relaxing fun and I wondered if anyone here has done it.

Now I doubt that I'll have the time and knowledge for it but the idea piqued my interest.

Go for it or even a portion of it. The US rivers are very much an unused recreational dream. A large portion of different rivers are untouched and exist in almost a wilderness condition. Of course, there are other areas that are well developed or have commercial enterprise but I've found a large part of the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee, are truly beautiful.
